Except this wasn't a 'lone' one at all. Millers Marsh is covered with more lily pads and flowers than I've seen in years. In some areas you could barely see any water.
Thank you for such a positive response to the spiral stairs. You made me quite happy I didn't actually climb them, and took the photo from the bottom!
Your commentary and shot are a great example of how we can manipulate what we want people to see with our cameras- of course in this case it's a very positive outcome! Beautiful capture.
